A COT IN THE WEST. 1 lov’d a lone and quiet spot Where scenes, sublime, of nature dwell ; The vet’ran oaks—the rural cot, Have found a place in niem’ry’s cell. I lov’d that cot—there first I learn’d In sport to chase the butterflv ; My youthful heart with pleasure burn’d — Pleasure, I thought could never die. \ ’Twaa there I spent my childish hours, ’ \1 id forest, hills and groves most dear ; ‘My pathway slre\v’d t ’with fragrant flow’rs, I rambled on and knew no fear. I lov’d to watcl) the riv’let bright, Whose hcav'n y music charms me still. It anthems day and night, And sweetly work’d its Master’s will. 1 lov’d when summer smil’d serene, At early morn to wandeV, where The earth presents the-richest scene— Where Nature's works were found most fair. I lov’d the churchyard’s solitude As twilight drew Irfer veil around ; Where chanting zephyrs oft intrude, And softly steal o’er ev’ry mound. I lov’d to linger round the grave Where a departed sister lies; I lov’d to think of Him who gave To her a home in Paradise.

From i|, e Pennsylvanian. Volunteers of 1814. JIT JEFFERSON SUTHERLAND. There ha£ recently appeared in some of the public prints of the Union, an article under the title of “Soldiers ot 1812,” giving notice that there had been held at Washington, District of Columbia, a meeting of a number of those who served as officers in the war of 1812; and that these officers had appointed a eommittee of their number to present to Congress, at its present session, a memo®* rial, soliciting the passage of a law granting a bounty in land to the officers of the army of. lb 12, in proportion to the rank of each. This notice has called to mind, with the writer, a reminiscence of his early youth, embracing some of the leading in cidents of the campaign of 1814, on the Niagara frontier, which it was.his fortune to witness in.his boyhood. The project referred to, though published under the very liberal caption of "Soldiers of IS I*J," has for its object to procure for the officers, who lorded it over those soldiers, donations of public lands, in tracts of 14U0, 9UU, and 700 acres, &c., which would into the Hands of the land speculators, and only serve to put a few hundred dollars into the pockets of the rich, or add the like to the dis tributions and legacies ol graceless heirs, while the poor soldiers—the soldiers in fact—as it would seem, are yet to be left to— e Beg bitter bread through realms their valor saved,’ and as the "officers of 1S12” have thrown before the people their claims for consideration, it has suggested itself to the writer, that there were other grades of the service, than "the officers of the reg ular army/’ who have claims upon the bounties of a "grateful people.” The Ist of January, 1 SI4, found the Government of the United States involved in a war with Great Britain, then the most powerful nation ot Europe. From the commencement of the war in lbl2, our enemy ha'd been engaged in a continental war, which had required the application of the highest amount of his men and means ; but from this, at the abate noted, be had been released, and was then prepared to direct the might of his people to the prosecution of the projected invasion o! our country, which then lay comparatively open, from Michigan Lake to Champlain—from Champlain to the Bay of Fundy—and from thence to the Gulf of Mexico. On the Niagara frontier, our shores had been invad ed, and Tort Niagara, at the confluence of that river, (Niagara.) with Lake Ontario, was occupied by the enemy's forces; and early in the year, pre datory bands of British and Indians burned the whole of the villages and hamlets situated on the New York shore ol the river, and laid waste the to the distance of near forty miles in the interior. * The fleeing inhabitants were •‘calling upon the State and national governments for protection from the torch of the ruthless Briton, and the tomahawk of the murderous Indian. In answer to this appeal, the Legislature of New York, by enactment, an thorized the Governor of the State to. call for and to accept the-service of two regiments of volunteer infantry, and one battalion of mixed troops, to be employed in the detenee of its frontiers; and the government at Washington was straining even nerve to collect a force of regulars sufficient for the exigencies of the country; and to effect the filling up the several regiments which the President was authorized to raise, Congress had by law, provided -bounties of §l2O and 320 acres of land tor each enlisted soldier. These bounties soon swept the country ol the idle populatipn; but still the ranks ot the army were not filfed. The price of the produce of the soil was greatly increased—industry was exc'.fcd—and hence, the recruits came in slowly, and thjjiountry remained undefended with a sufficiency of force to repel the thousands of tried and well drilled troops which were then about to be poured upon our borders; of which New York had the largest extent, & most* difficult of defence To meet the impending crisis, and in obedience to the statute provisions of the Legislature, Gov. Tompkins issued proclamations calling for volun teers, and himself travelled through the State, meeting the people in their assemblies, and person ally.soliciting them to put on their arms, and to turn out lor the defence of their homes. Several hundred of the people at once.answered the GdVer nor’s call, and being organized* in companies, marched for the Niagara Frontier. In one of these companies of volunteers, embod ied near the centre of the State of New York, the father of the writer, (the late Silas'Sutherland,) served the country in an humble capacity; and the writer, himself, then a child of only nine years of age, accompanied his father through the entire campaign; and although he was too young to do service lor the country, be had the honor of Hein*' tented j-vith the American army serving under Gen. Brown* These volunteers' were mustered into the service for the defence, of the State: and such were the terms of their engagement. Yet, when they had arrivej at Buffalo, and there were informed that General Brown had resolved to carry the war into Upper Canada, they again volunteered and followed the flag across,. the river. At Chippewa, they tried their muiketej at Bridgewater they were present at the proper time, and did efficient service; through the siege of Fort Erie, they held a position in the works, and stood up to them at the moment ot the assault; and they carried the points of the epemy's works assigned to them at the sortie; and side by side with the New Yorkers, in all their gallant achievements, was a battalion of Pennsyl vania Volunteers, equal in discipline, gallantry and patriotism. From the commencement to the end ot the campaign, the New York Volunteers continued in service, and were much of the time under the ene my's fire, though they received small rations, and no pay and no clothing; ‘and finally, when the in clemency of the weather compelled the enemy to retire into winter quarters, the volunteers were withdrawn from the enemy's territories to Buffalo, and from thence, in a miserable condition of desti tution, they were marched through the mud and wet, of the last days of October, to Batavia, distant forty miles, scattering their diseased and dying aloug the road; ami at Batavia,on the Bth ol Nuvem ber. such of them as had been spared by disease and battle, to answer to their names, were mustered out ot service, and dismissed to their homes, with out payment for their services, except the distribu tion of $4, and SG, and to some $B, made of a small sum of money borrowed from a private citizen, upon the personal obligations of General Peter B Porter and Col. Hugh W. Dobbin. The men who composed these volunteer companies, had been' drawn from sections of the State one, two. and three hundred miles distant from their place ol disbandment; and these distances they were sent off to travel with only such pitilul sums of money as stated, iri early winter; and as destitute of clo thing as of money—not having received anv from the government, and that procured by themselves, having been worn through a campaign of six months, including a siege of fifty or more days.— lhe father of the writer, in order to command the means required to take him to his Ijome, was com pelled to sell his sword, and all his little trophies of war ol which he hail obtained a number. The hospital of these volunteers, at Batavia, was a school house, in which there was placed lor the sick, neither cot, bunk, nor bed ; and on the cold floor of that school house, with but a single blan ket, many of those brave defenders of their country writhed in their last agonies, and were curried from thence to the soldiers unmarked grave. The duty of the writer's father required him. while en camped at Batavia, to pass the hospital (/) every morning, and he, (the writer.) by permission, ac companied him; and seldom did they.pass that dreary place without witnessing, laid out fipon a board in lront of the house, some new’ corse wrap ped in a soldier's blanker. About a year after the disbandment of the volun teers at Batavia, a paymaster passed through the State and distributed the soldier's monthly pay. for the time these volunteers had been in service, to such of them as came to him; and beyond this, neither remunerations, rewards, nor bounties have been bestowed or provided for the “ Volunteers ol 1814."’ For the relief of those of the volunteers who sur vive, and for the heirs of those deceased, the writer the following project, which he believes would command universal approbation: [To RE PROVIDED 11T LAW OF CONGRF.P.O J A pension ol $5§2s per annum to each per son who performed such service for any term less than four and more than one month. lo each son and daughter of any person who perlormed active duty os a volunteer soldier in the service ol the United States, during the last war with Great Britain, lor any term exceeding one month, (such sons and daughters having been 21 years ol age at time of the passage of this act,) a tract of land comprising IG‘J acres, in manner as lollows : Proof to be furnished by the claimant, satisfacto ry to the Commissioner of Pensions, of his or her age. and identity as son or daughter of a person who performed such duty, with an affidavit made by the claimant setting forth tha he, or she, as the case may be, had not belore received any such grant of land as then applied for;.and thereupon the Commissioner of Pensions to grant to the claimant a certificate of the proof made, including therein a declaration that the holder of the certificate may loea'e a tract of IGO acres of land on any of the unappropriated lands ol the United States.

THE WIDOW A widow is a dangerous thing, With soil,.blacks, shining curls, And looketh more bewitching ' Than a host of romping girls ; Her laugh is so delicious— So knowing clear, beside, You’d never dream her thinking Soon to become a bride. Her dress, though made of sables, Gives roundness to her form— A-touch of something thoughtful, A witching, winning charm, And when she sjts down by you, With quiet, easy grace— A tear may fail unbidden, Or a smile lightup her face. Her voice is soft—melodious— And lute like in its tone ; She sometimes sighs : £< ’tis dreadful To pass thgpugh life alone.” And then she’ll tell you, you remind her Of the loved ooe dead and gone, Your step, your form, your features ; Thus the widow will run on. Oh ! listen, yet be careful, For well she plays her part— Her lips distil the nectar • That doth enslave the heart. Be guarded, or she will win you, With sighs and smiles, and tears ; I’ faith she’ll wear the breeches, too, And box your silly ears. The N. Y. Tribune has a letter, dated San Fran cisco, Jan. 31, which says— Some astonishingly large pieces of gold are re ported to have been found at the Stockton mines within the last two weeks. One piece weighing twenty-three pounds was brought to Stockton on Ihursday. Another piece of incredible size and weight was also reported to have been brought to Stopkton on Friday— it was said to weigh ninety eight pounds. I saw a number of persons on board the Stockton boaj who had seen the lump weighing twenty-three pounds. The gentleman who carries the express between Stockton and San Francisco told me he saw and had in his hands the piece weigh ing ninety-eight pounds. If this be true it is the larg est piece of gold ever found,'excepting one found in the Uni mountains, which weighed nearly one hundred pounds troy. Tuf.

CITY OF LANCASTER, TUESDAY MORNING, MARCH 26, 1850. SPEECH COL. GORMAN. Extracts from the speech of Col. W. A. Gorman, of Indiana, delivered in the House of Representa tives, March 12, 1800: It was the Democratic party who was for the war with Mexico, brought on by the wanton shed ding of American blood upon American soil. It was the Whig party that opposed it. with a few honorable exceptions. It was the Democratic party who declared that this war was begun by the act of Mexico; and it was the Whig party who said that it was unnecessarily and unconstitutionally begun by the act of the President! It was the Democratic ; party who acquired Calilornia and New Mexico, I with her inexhaustible mines of gold and silver, ind other precious metals—thereby opening a new land extensive trade on the Pacific; it was the Whig party who oppo ed it. It was the Demo cratic party that obtained the re-occupation ol Oregon, with her vast agricultural resources, her rive is, and her. harbors; it was the Whig party who opposed it, with a lew honorable exceptions. The honorable gentleman from Georgia should have gone lurther, and told his Whig friends that lit was the Democratic party that acquired Florida irom Spain, and Louisiana from France; both of which Requisitions have opened new channels o£ commerce and wealth, and given an outlet to the -reat valley of the Mississippi, for her inexhausti ble agricultural productions. And it was the Whig party that opposed it. it has been the Dem ocratic party, who have favored the progiess ol human liberty throughout the world; it has always been the Whig party who have opposed it. Mr. Chairman, I now propose to say a few words about this hackneyed phrase of northern and south ern aggression. The fanatics of the North—l mean Abolitionists—and their co-laborers, in the work of agitation, charge that the .South have always succeeded in carrying every measure be fore Congress. Why is this so ! I answer, (if it is true) that the heavy body of the Democratic party has generally been South of Mason and Dixon's line, and that they have had most of the Presidents a Washington, Jefferson, Madison. AJonroe, Jackson, ami Polk. These illustrious men always maintained the doctrine of a strict construction of, and adherence to, the Con stitution of the United States; and that Congress should exercise no powerlnot granted in the Con stitution, except it be a necessary incident thereto, to carry into effect some expressly delegated power. Each of these illustrious patriots left their impress upon the age in which they lived and ruled: They transmitted to their posterity their pure republican principles, which have been beacon lights to the Democratic party ever since.. With those repub lican doctrines, many of the Northern States, and nearly all the Western States, have deeply sympa thised. as the only sale doctrine lor the perpetuity of American “liberty. For many years past, the South alone have not had the numerical strength 1 to pass any law without assistance from the North and Wesr. The Democratic party, North ami South, have invariably resisted the doctrine of protecting the manufacturing capital of the North and East, at the expense of the great agricultural interests of the country; and I very much lear, that this agitation of the slavery question has its foundation in a desire to get rid of any further as sociation with this republican sentiment of the South ; and finding the Southern people sensitive upon the subject ol slavery, have seized upon this question as a pretext to cover up the real motive. But, Mr. Chairman, what do the South ask ‘ I answer, nothing, but to be let alone. If I under stand her statesmen, ami those who proless to speak for her upon this floor, they do not propose to extend the institution ol slavery by any act of Congress. The Democratic party of the South, in most of lhe States, have passed resolutions, de daring the doctrine ol non-intervention, as the only constitutional ground that can be taken on the subject of slavery in the territories. Resolu tions were adopted by the Democratic party of Georgia and Mississippi, in IS4S, substantially as lollows: “ Resolved, That the people of the South do not ask of Congress to es'ablish the institution of sla very in any of the territory that may be acquired by the United States. They simpjy require that the inhabitants of each territory be left free to de termine for themselves, whether the institution of slavery shall, or shall not, form a part of their social system.” ••••••• Mr. Chairman, I now propose to examine, for a few minutes, the doctrine ot the Wilmot Proviso. I said to my constituents, and I now say here, to day, this proviso was "conceived in sin. and brought forth in iniquity,** by Martin Van Buren, through a deep-seated desire to avenge his disappointed ambi tion. It was intended to defeat Lewis Cass and the Democratic party. Yes, Mr. Chairman, this -son of York,” who the great Democratic party had nursed, reared, and cujessed, and into whose nostrils they breathed the breath of political life, when he came to lull maturity, “turned to a ser pent, and stung his benefactors to death.' 1 But I firmly believe he has furnished a motto for our po litical regeneration: "The sober, second thought of the people." “Truth, crushed to earth, will rise again; The eternal years of God are hers.” But if the South ask us of the North to give our consent to extend slavery one inch, by law, we say, no, no; we cannot, we will not do it. If the only choice left us, is to vote for slavery extension, or lor restriction, we will vote \or free dom; we are no propagandists of slavery; we pro pose to trust the people —and there we stop. Now, Mr. Chairman—pardon this digression—l propose to inquire whether it is necessary and ex pedient to pass the Wilmot Proviso, dr otherwise trammel, by Congressional action, the will of the people in these territories. It, as every northern man, and many of the southern, admit, these territories are now free from African slavery, how can they suppose that the passage of the Proviso will make it more free? The'only ground upon which the Wilmot Proviso can be justified, by republicans, is, that they doubt the capacity ot the people to govern themselves— that they believe the people are not so wise, fiot so moral, not so good, and that they do not love lib erty so dearly as they do! Northern Free Soilers are wonderfully alarmed for fear the people' will not know what is best for their own wellare, for fear these far-west, backwoods pioneers, will not have sense enough to take care of themselves. It pre-supposes that Congress has the power to do every thing not expressly forbidden. Instead of the republican doctrine, that Congress can exercise no power .not expressly granted, or as a necessary incident to some express grant, and that all power not expressly granted to the General Government, is reserved to the States respectively, or to the people , this doctrine ol the Proviso assumes that Congress has power to make all needful rules and regula lions for the people of the territories, and confounds the people, and the inherent rights of man, with the right which is granted in the Constitution, to make all needful rules and regulations for the dis position of the property of the United States. * * * • • • But, Mr. Chairman, I hope to be pardoned for turning aside to notice a remark made by the hon orable gentleman from Pennsylvania, [Mr. Stevens] He, sir, is a distinguished leader of the Whig party, and like the honorable gentleman from Massachu setts, he must bear his share of the responsibility of this dangerous agitation. He says: “ But in this glorious country, where nearly two thirds of the people are free, we can say anything within these walls with impunity, unless it be to agitate in favor of human liberty—that is aggres sion /” Agitate for human liberty! That is the cant phrase. What does he propose to accomplish by agitation? He admits that we cannot disturb sla very in the States. He admits, and declares, that there is no slavery in California or New Mexico. He admits, and declares, that they are now free.— And now. I ask who does he propose to make free? What bonds does he ask to break ? What chains fetter the limbs of the freemen of the territories? I suppose, he, like others of his party, is very much alarmed, lest these hard-fisted, honest-hearted people of the far West will abolish freedom, and load them selves with chains and slavery. Mr. Chairman, this is the style of all the Free Soil arguments I have ever heard; but X desire to ask the Free Boil i Democrats one question. After you have got this slavery question settled, where do you intend, as a political party to go? or what do you intend to do? •Do you still intend to make it a political test ol party organization? If you do, at this point you and I must part company. I claim to love liberty, ray country, and the Constitution, as well, and as devotedly, as any man in any party, I, for one, will stand by the Constitution and the Union of these States, come what will, or may. “ The Union must be preserved.” Now, Mr. Chairman, I beg to. say one thing to the great national Democratic party, of which 1 clairr to be an humble member. You have held the control of this mighty nation for fifty years out of sixty. Its prosperity and its glory have been the work ot your hands. You have passed through many storms of political strife, and have brought the ship of State, each time, safely into port. You have been beaten occasionally, but “never conquer ed.” Your temporary tail has only given renewed energy and vigor to your time honored principles of republican liberty. You have strangled to death that hydia headed monied monster, that once threat ened the freedom of the laboring millions, until the name of “United States Bank" stinks in lhe-nostri!s of every Democratic republican. You have sus tained, triumphantly, the doctrine of “equal rights to all men, exclusive privileges to none." You have sympathised with, and sustained, the progress ot human liberty throughout the world. Your voices, your strong arms, and stout hearts, have always been raised in defence of your country ; ami while your countrymen were bleeding at every pore—while your brethren were offering up their lives upon the altar of their country —you have encouraged and sustained them; and while vour brethren were pouring out their blood in a foreign land, in defence ot the national honor, you never t [old the soldier, when he was returning from the | field of blood, that he had just been engaged in a war that “was unconstitutionally and unnecessarily 1 begun.” l r ou have, while holding the reins oi l government, extended and enlarged the bounds ol human freedom. In 184 S. you fell, defending the right of the peo ple to settle this vexed question, and all others, for themselves. Now, sir, the present Executive, Gen, Taylor', has approximated to the truth, you fell de tending. Even the great Northern light—the great Ajax of Northern Whig principles—after having made a most unjust anil untounded attack upon Northern Democrats.—has finally given in his ad hesion to the Northern Democratic doctrine, that there is no necessity for passing this “Wilmot"—l will add. “Proviso:” he does not dignity it so much. And now’, when all parties, with but lew exceptions, are giving in their adhesion to the Democratic doc trine of non-interference, on the subject of slavery in the territories,'! hope to see Northern Democrats standing in one rank upon the great rock of the Constitution, to save their beloved" country from this threatening crisis. If you will, we shall have preserved our country, our national identity as a party, and our liberal, patriotic spirit as men. I hen shall we have added another Democratic tri umph to the long list of victories over error in by gone days. Cutting it tfiiicU. Many years since, there did dwell in a certain town, not a hundred miles from that far-famed place where orthodox divines are fitted up for their profession and calling, a certain D. D., notorious lor his parsimoniousness, which would occasionally run into the wildest extremes. “ Like a peach that’s got the vallcrs, With its meanness bustin out.” —llosea Billow. One day this doctor of divinity chanced into a hat store in this city, and after rummaging over the wares, selected an ordinary-looking hat—"put it on his reverend head—ogled himself in’lhe glass—then asked the very lowest price of it—telling the ten der that if he could get it cheap enough he thought he might buy it. ° “But,” said the hatter, “that hat is not good enough for you to wear—here is what you want,” showing one of his best beavers. ’ “Tis the best I can afford, though," returned the theologian. " Well, there, doctor—l II make a present of that best beaver, if you'll wear it and tell your friends whose store it came from. I'll warrant you'll send me customers enough to get my money‘back with interest—you are pretty extensively acquainted.'* A “Thank you—thank you!” said the doctor his eyes gleaming with pleasure at raising a castor so cheaply—"how much may this beaver be worth?'" “ We sell that kind of hat (or eight dollars,'' re plied the man of nap. "And the other?" continued the reverend gentle man. "The man of sermons put on the beaver—looked in the glass—then at the three-dollar hat. *' I think, sir, said he—taking off the the beaver, and holding it in one hand as he donned the cheap tile, "I think, sir, that this hat will answer my purpose full as well as the best.” “But you'd better take the best one, sir, it costs you no more.” “B-u-t—b-u-t,” replied the parson hesitatingly— "l didn't know—but—per-haps—yob would as’lief I would take the cheap one—and’leave the other and perhaps you would not mind giving me tne difference in a five dollar bill."

OWING to the late revolutions and counter-rev olutions among the nations of Europe, which have followed each other in such quick succession, and of which “the end is not yet,” the leading pe riodicals of Great Britain have become invested with a degree of interest hitherto unknown. They occupy a middle ground between the hasty, disjoin ted, and necessarily imperfect records of the news papers, and the elaborate and ponderous treatises to be furnished by the historian at a future day. Whoever reads these periodicals obtains x correct and connected account of all the important political events of the old world, as they occur, and learns the various conclusions drawn from them by- the leading spirits of the age. The American Publish- I ers iherefore deem it proper to call renewed atten tion to the works they republish an 1 the very low prices at which they are offered to subscribers.— The following is their list, viz: THE LONDON QUARTERLY REVIEW. THE EDINGBURG REVIEW. THE WESTMINSTER REVIEW, THE NORTH BRITISH REVIEW, and BLACKWOOD'S EDINGBURGH MAGAZINE. In these periodicals are contained the views, moderately, though clearly and firmly expressed, of the three great parties in England—Tory, Whig, and Radical — l< Blackwood” and the “ London Quarterly” are Tory the “ Edinburgh Review” Whg; and the “ Westminter Review” Liberal.— The “ North British Review” owes its establish-, meet to the last great ecclesiastical movement in Scotland, and is not ultra in its views on any one of the grand departments of human knowledge: it was originally edited by Dr. Chalmers, and now, since his death, is conducted bv his son-in-law, Dr. Hanna, associated with Sir David Brewster. Its literary character is of the very highest order. The Westminster,” though reprinted under that title only, is published in England under the title of the “Foreign Quarterly & Westminster,” it being in fact a union of the two Reviews formerly published and reprinted under separate titles. It has, therefore, the advantage by combination, of uniting in one work the best features of both as heretofore issued.
